- Understanding Gold: A Starting Point for Reading Financial Markets
The article presents gold as an accessible starting point for understanding financial news, since it appears across jewellery, manufacturing, central bank reserves and investment. It explains that XAUUSD denotes gold quoted in US dollars per troy ounce, which helps readers compare information across publishers. The author advises checking an article's timeframe and purpose and distinguishing physical gold from gold-linked financial products. The piece stresses that learning the terminology and context comes before any decision, and that following gold does not require making a transaction or adopting a market forecast.
- China on gold purchasing spree as geopolitical tensions grip global markets , oil supply chain
China's central bank, the People's Bank of China (PBOC), reportedly added 23 tonnes of gold to its reserves in September 2026, its largest monthly purchase in nearly three years and extending its buying streak to 23 consecutive months. According to Nile Post, China's reported gold reserves now total about 2,410 tonnes. The move follows concerns over the vulnerability of dollar- and euro-denominated assets held abroad, a risk highlighted by Western freezes of Russian reserves after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, while gold held domestically is less exposed to such restrictions. The article argues that this reflects an effort to diversify reserves and reduce dependence on a financial system where Washington and its allies wield considerable influence, rather than an outright shift away from the dollar. Other central banks have also increased purchases, with net buying of about 39 tonnes in August and about 23 tonnes in July, according to the World Gold Council.

- Jensen Huang: “Two Gigawatts to Us Is Like $80 Billion.” 43 New Gigawatts Coming in 2027
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said two gigawatts of AI capacity, like the ones Nvidia announced in Australia, are worth about $80 billion to the company, up from about $18 billion per gigawatt previously. He attributed the increase to Nvidia now selling far more of each data center, including networking, CPUs, storage and security, not just GPUs. Citing SemiAnalysis's Dylan Patel on the BG2 podcast, Altimeter Capital's Brad Gerstner said 43 gigawatts of new AI compute will come online next year. At about $40 billion per gigawatt, Nvidia would need around 17 gigawatts to reach the $692 billion revenue estimate for fiscal 2028, though Huang said land, power and data center buildings are the main obstacles to the build-out.
- The Investment Case for JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)
Diamond Hill's Large Cap Strategy returned 3.18% net of fees in Q3 2026, outperforming the 2.61% return of the Russell 1000 Value Index, and added JPMorgan Chase as a new holding. The firm said JPMorgan's scale should support continued technology investment that improves efficiency, helping contain expense growth and drive operating leverage. It expects below-average returns across the market due to high equity valuations, though attractive bottom-up opportunities remain. As of October 16, 2026, JPM closed at $339.72, with a $903.04 billion market cap, up 5.43% year-to-date and trading in a 52-week range of $279.10 to $366.50. Hedge fund portfolios holding JPM fell to 113 at the end of Q2 from 131 the previous quarter.
- Deep Hardware-Software Integration Drives Apple’s (AAPL) Underappreciated AI Advantage
Wedgewood Partners’ Q3 2026 letter reports its Composite returned 2.5% in the quarter, ahead of the S&P 500 (2.3%) and Russell 1000 Growth (0.9%) but behind the Russell 1000 Value (2.6%). Rising Treasury yields pressured rate-sensitive stocks, while AI resilience lifted the NASDAQ 100 to record highs. The firm highlights Apple (AAPL), which rallied in the quarter with 16% revenue growth and adjusted EPS growth in the high teens. Wedgewood argues Apple’s R&D spending of over $40 billion over 12 months, comparable to major chip developers combined, supports a long-term AI edge from deep hardware-software integration that the market underestimates. Apple closed at $343.46 on October 16, 2026, up 26.34% year to date.
- Strive buys $335M in Bitcoin, boosting holdings to 36,818 BTC
Bitcoin treasury company Strive bought 4,045 BTC for about $335 million last week, raising its total holdings to 36,818 BTC, according to a Monday SEC filing. The purchases were made between Oct. 12 and 16 at an average price of $82,803 per coin, including fees. That makes Strive the fourth-largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder, ahead of MARA Holdings, with reserves worth about $3 billion. The company also received about $369 million from warrant exercises and issued 13.7 million common shares, and it priced a $630 million offering of SATS preferred stock carrying a fixed 15% annual dividend, with proceeds that could fund more Bitcoin purchases. ASST shares rose about 7.7% to $25.95 in late-morning trading Monday.
- Rocket Lab Delays Neutron Again. Is the Stock in Trouble?
Rocket Lab (RKLB) shares plunged after the company said the Neutron rocket’s launch would slip to next year, one of several delays, and the stock is down close to 40% over six months. The article notes investors may shift toward Space Exploration Technologies Corp, which went public over the summer. Revenue for the quarter ended June 30 rose 62% year over year to $234 million, backlog grew 137% to just under $2.4 billion, and the company is acquiring Iridium Communications. Neutron, which can handle larger payloads than Electron, is seen as key to future profitability. The author argues the delay alone doesn’t justify selling, though the company is not yet profitable and that could take a long time to change.
